These are located in the departure lounge extension between the duty free shop and the main part of the existing departure lounge. Empty shops are not going to easy congestion in the departure lounge though.
In the meantime the temporary drop off zone is taking shape which will have 5 lanes with the exit barriers being moved close by. This is almost a mock up of the ground floor of the second multistory being started soon. With the exit barriers so close to the drop off lanes any tailbacks will have a major impact on the drop off zone.
Last summer the barriers had to be lifted often as the tailbacks would extend all the way around the CTA to where the drop off zone was located.
